 velti or Vedalia powelli, the r and p would be small letters, not capitals. 



The next table will give our insect friends: and let me add that these 

 friends belong to tW'O distinct groups, the parasitic insects — those that 

 work inside their victims, like the golden chalcid of the yellow scale: 

 and the predaceous species — those that devour their prey, as does the 

 cat the mouse. The Vedalia. and indeed all the ladybird beetles, belong 

 in the latter group. 



Of the parasitic group, we have three families: the Chalcids, Ichneu- 

 monids, and the Braconids: and one family of the Diptera, or two-\\ing 

 flies, the Tachinids. I give them in this order in the following table :
